David Melville jug - 5¼" (133 mm) high.

David Melville graduated from Medway College of Art and Design in Kent
with a distinction in 1979. His workshop is in Frindsbury, near Rochester.

His aim is simple - to make useful and appealing pottery. He makes pots
in earthenware and stoneware. His stoneware domestic range has retained
continuity since he started making it in 1979, so his customers can be sure
of getting replacements and additions to their collection. He has a large
range of planters and pots for outdoor use made from terracotta which is
high-fired to withstand extremes of climate.

David uses a variety of techniques for his one-off decorative pieces
- thrown, altered and hand-built. The glazes are made to his own recipes
and where possible he likes to use local materials.

His spare time is taken up in working in further education, lecturing
at clubs and acting as a consultant in ceramics for educational establishments.
